If I pick up my Motorola I'll see that I can't even have an adblock for the default browser. And yet very soon my iPhone will receive an update that adds generic extensions support into safari. There's an extension that automatically changes amp links to real pages for example.

Android is open as it gets and yet somehow the diversity of software there is lacking. Try finding decent email client that is not Gmail and doesn't suck your data into cloud. iPhone has got multiple and one is OOB.

I echo this. I had youtube-dl running on my previous iPhone in pythonista.

I had a shortcut that would download list of YouTube videos from a file for offline viewing using that

Thank you for not judging. In April this year one Sunday evening I realised that I've just spent about 40 hours over that weekend tinkering with my mutt and notmuch configuration instead of practicing smoking that beef roast as I wanted for some time

Monday morning I did several things:

- ordered mac mini M1 to replace my ThinkPad with Arch

- ordered iPhone to replace my rooted Motorola 5g Plus

- filed a ticket at work to switch myself from company issued precision 5540 with Arch to company issued 16 inch MacBook

- promised myself to never go that way again

I still am experiencing cravings sometimes. I saw someone made a Wayland port of dwm and immediately wanted to try it. Took a bit effort to distract myself from that and read a book instead.

I am a recovering addict and Keyboard Maestro is my replacement therapy

My life under Tim Cook's "vision" is pretty sweet when it comes to electronic devices.

With a tap of a button I fill my house with lossless quality of music that is playing on astonishingly capable speakers. Those speakers also answer my questions and run automations on my phone which I can create in a very nice and user-friendly interface.

I'm currently watching an episode of a TV Series that is playing from my NAS on my mac through the only player on my Mac (I tried mpv, IINA and VLC) that is capable of playing 8k MKVs without hiccups - Infuse. That player is a port from an iPad app btw.

When I finished with my work I say "Hey, Siri, I'm done" and leave the room. Monitor's lightbar, other lights turns off. When it is getting dark my chosen lights turn on automatically, provided somebody's home. My printer doesn't consume electricity in the night because HomeKit automatically turns it off in the evening and turns it on in the morning. I don't need to worry about my daughter putting her fingers into shredder because it is always turned off. When I need it, I say "Hey Siri, turn on shredder". The shredder turns on and it then automatically turns off after 90 seconds.

When I get in my car I have a very nice screen on the dashboard that most of the time is capable of guessing where I'm about to go and suggests one-tap navigation. And the music starts playing from where I left off.

My photos are downloaded on several devices and backed up in the cloud. The albums are shared with my Mom who is very happy every time when I upload new photos of here granddaughter.

My private drm-free music collection is also uploaded to the cloud and synchronised to every device I've got.

I can say "Hey Siri, facetime Mom" and I'll see my mother's face over the distance of 17000km in a magnificent quality.

My books are synchronised and downloaded across all my devices as well and whenever I feel like reading one, it's right here. None of those books were bought from Apple btw, they are DRM-free.

The other day I was wondering if I should buy an iMac for my wife - would it fit in the kitchen or not? Well, there's AR technology on my phone that had no troubles presenting me how it would sit on the counter. Now there's also an AR app that helps me manage my arachnophobia.

I am an immigrant. In the past 5 years I had to do so many paperwork that it could fill a little closet. Luckily, compared to my peers I didn't have to print all of those PDFs out. I was able to sign them from my MacBook in Preview and using markup feature on my iPad.

I am also a software developer. I value and appreciate Unix core utils. Turns out my Mac is a certified Unix and I am able to automate a lot of things in my day-to-day job using small Unix tools that are imprinted into my fingers. All that while looking at _magnificent_ 4k monitor that delivers 100% of Adobe's gamut and doesn't make my eyes with weird font issues.

I love travelling into Australian Outback with my wife and we take some magnificent photos there with our iPhones without having to carry a lot of heavy equipment. We then are able to send this photos to each other whilst being completely off-the-grid, some hundreds of KM from nearest cell tower using AirDrop. It takes milliseconds. On the long drives my daughter can pick up here iPad and just watch some cartoons. iPad connects to the internet using my iPhone automatically when there's reception and Infuse has stuff that it downloaded form my Emby installation when there's none.

My podcasts are downloaded automatically without my intervention and put onto my watch. When I go for my walks I don't have to carry my phone. My watch and headphones suffice.

When I browse the web using my phone or my mac I don't see any advertisements and popups and auto-playing videos. Safari on my phone and mac is capable of having extensions and has APIs for adblocking applications. 1Blocker takes a good care of me when it comes to ads.

My phone provides me with tools to take care of my digital well-being. It lets me know which applications I used the most and when and lets me to block those applications for certain periods of time if I find an unhealthy habit.

I write my notes on my iPad. I don't need to cut trees anymore and it is more comfortable. With Notability I can zoom and cut my handwritten nodes and move them around and do all sorts of stuff I can't with regular pen and paper.

I recently bought an iPad for my Mom and added her into my Apple One subscription. Now she's in Russia and I'm in Australia and she is able to listen to her beloved old soviet decedent music virtually for free without needing to download it anywhere. I am calm and confident that she's safe using this device and probably of her getting scammed is quite a bit lower compare to any other device.

I'm looking forward to what other quality of life improvements Tim Cook's vision will bring to my life. I feel privileged that I have access to this magnificent technology and thankful for that.

I have a monitor that acts as USB hub and power source, everything is plugged into it and then one single cable connects it and all of that and power to my company issued MacBook. Every meeting room used to have hdmi and DP and thunderbolt connectors but no more because every company issued laptop is now capable of thunderbolt (MacBook or dell precision series if you opt in for Linux)

For me, the functional/pipeline/call chain style changes perception from "how" to "what".

Because I say "what" do to do without going into details of "how" I feel like I have spent less mental capacity reading this portion of code.

However, it does require your transformations to be simple and composable, shove a giant multi-line lambda in there it yes, the loop will be better.

Oh, the lengths people go to avoid OOP. Java:

    users.stream()
        .map(User::getEmail)
        .map(Email::send)
        .map(res -> "Error sending email: " + res)
        .collect(toList())

My experience is that terraform sucks. A lot. Yet everything else seem to suck even more

I won't try posting from my phone every again :picardfacepalm:. Because the edit button is gone now, I'll just re-write it in a readable way.

All this will do in mid and long term is that they'll jack prices up even higher because they can, just like what government did to college loans.

I was reading somewhere where people linked price growth to growth of medical insurance, the point was that as soon as people stopped paying from their own pockets they stopped caring and started to take whatever doctors said and the companies started marketing to doctors and making agreements with them and so on and so on. Can't find the link unfortunately.

Or worlds order is stupid and outdated. Remove drug restrictions and you'll remove 80% of criminal

To be honest for me it is much easier to memorise %Y and friends then this special date. I feel like this canonical date is easier to write documentation for but harder to use.

You wot mate? You haven’t even started. I got my first half decent job when I was 23 right after half-assing my useless railroad automation degree in Russia. It was a Java programmer for 500 bucks a month. I’m 33 now. I had my Australian citizenship ceremony today in the comfort of my own house with my wife and baby daughter.

Relax, mate, I’ll all happen.

I assumed that they get this option for free instead of buying an app and less stuff to install generally.

If Apple's option is worse (which I doubt, at least for English) and/or original app is free then probably consumer suffers a bit. But if consumer is worse off then it is better because AFAIK American anti-monopoly system focuses on consumer's well-being so the more examples of consumer being worse off the easier to attract courts and regulators, isn't it?

Also another note is that I believe sooner or later regulators will come after them.

And after what they've shown today they'll have only themselves to blame and what they've shown today.

Unfortunately whole community will suffer because of them being insufferably arrogant.

Whats the point of market fixing itself in this situation?

"Market fixing itself" describe relationships between consumer and supplier. In this case "consumer" is better off so seems like market works as intended.

Developer's being f-ed over is sad thing but unless the situation for developers is so bad that they abandon App Store in troves then nothing will fix anything.

Also one could argue that overall situation is pretty-pleasing for everyone, apps that do not go into Apple's territory (system stuff) seem to be thriving and don't complain too much.

I'd rather them not to regulate it because they start with Apple and end up killing shareware and everything else. Who knows what kind of crazy stuff they'll invent for open source, can they outlaw it? I'd rather them to not even start.

cmd+k -> @jdoe -> enter, /zoom -> enter, click “join”

I see what you did here

I personally don't care what courts say and what devs do. If your app wants me to buy a subscription out of IAP system - I won't do it. I want my subscription to be present in a central place with a single-click cancellation.

This. It is basically a way out for people that don't want to run Mac.

Toxic or not is questionable and lots of places employ toxic people (not saying she is, just a general statement), leaking internal stuff which marked "confidential" is the stuff that'll cause concerns.

Seems like her career is done

> companies who are shit at customer service

We call it "customer shortage" now.

> we are a family

That is one is the most annoying.

Just a record pointing to another ID? I mean no need to enforce FK constraint for symlink. For hard links - yes, an FK like concept?

On one had - yes please, screw OSes, gimme something like Smalltalk environment (in it's Pharo incarnation preferably).

On other hand - define OS. Isn't that Smalltalk environment an OS if it runs bare metal?

Good luck debugging that crap when you’re woken up at 2am by a page. Even magnificent Java stack traces won’t help. You’ll be stuck in “how the hell did we end up here”

I never understood this. I bought my house to live in it, for decades, why would I care about value not rising as fast as it could?

Not really comparable to the problem with Google you're pointing to. Google's services are free, here we have tickets from paying customers.

I've never opened a ticket to Google as paying customer so I don't know for sure but unless someone comes and confirms that same crap is happening even if you pay we can't really compare those two cases and Docker is worse for simple reason that it demands payment yet ignores paying customers.

I guess we could extend Project Lombok to do this. You'll still have your "throws" statement but then the tool would wrap calls to catch those that are not listed in "throws" statement and wrap them as you say.
